Folksy Fooler's, Almost There!!!

Those of us who were brave or insane enough to try to list an item a day during April, calling ourselves the Folksy Foolers, are almost at the end of out challenge!

There will be a big forum party to celebrate! So bring along the virtual cake, biscuits and anything else you fancy to munch upon, and we'll look to see how successful or not it has been for the Foolers in increasing views and hopefully sales of our craft items.

If all else fails, I can certainly say I have enjoyed being part of the Gang and have made some lovely forum buddies and I really feel part of the Folksy community!

Here are some of the listings and wonderful crafts made for yesterday!

Just click on an item to be taken to their Folksy shop to look at the particular details!

About Me

Crafting and selling of these items is a hobby for me. I'm a working Mum, with lovely children and fabulous Hubby. I have had a passion since childhood for fossils and gemstones, and have been collecting for many years. As a family we go on fossil hunting expeditions, but there is only so much you can keep for yourself.
My Husband and I are also fans or anything oriental and have collected Netsuke for many years, both vintage and modern items, but again there are only so many that you can keep, so am hoping our passion for these wonderful items is something others might also enjoy. Netsuke ('netskei) is a small carving usually made from wood or ivory and originally developed in Japan. This form of small sculpture served as toggle in Japan for over a period of more than three hundred years, for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
I enjoy knitting and working with yarn and wool, making items from simple scarfs through to hand made handbags. Inspiration often taken from nature or by the look of how differing yarns, wool and other products work together. Each of these items will be unique and guaranteed hand made by myself.
